People bang on about women having the right to make choices—well, they need to realise women have the right to choose in these matters, too.”

You’re not irresistible. All it means is that I’ve got a body, just like you. And in that body, there’s a heart and a brain. I’m human.”\n \n I may be in love with this book."
